RE: Stand or Sit for the Anthem?
Saying your peace or speaking whats on your mind is fine it's our right, however no one should disrespect this country, you may no agree with it, but there are other ways than disrespecting the flag, the men and women who fought, and some gave their lives so you have the right to disagree and speak your mind. All i am saying is you can protest but don't be disrespectful to this country or anyone who defends it.
Well exactly, you have the right to disagree and speak your mind, unless you are saying that America is a dictatorship, then sitting during the national anthem is perfectly fine.
That is not a good example of disrespecting the flag; I would say burning or urinating on it would be disrespectful. Whereas not standing is exercising the rights that you yourself pointed out, these people have.

I think the point of protesting is to get attention, so I guess they felt like if the poked America in the eye... maybe they would get a response.
